Women’s Sexual Dysfunction
Sexual dysfunction refers to ongoing issues that affect an individual’s ability to engage in or enjoy sexual activity. For women, this may involve changes in desire, arousal, orgasm, or physical comfort during intercourse. While temporary changes in libido or satisfaction are typical, sexual dysfunction is a concern when it leads to constant distress or affects quality of life or relationships.
There are four common categories of sexual dysfunction in women, involving physical, emotional, hormonal, and relational factors, which can occur individually or together. These are:
- Desire Disorders: Lack of interest in sexual activity
- Arousal Disorders: Inability to stay aroused during sex
- Orgasmic Disorders: Difficulty or delay in achieving orgasm
- Pain Disorders: Pain upon penetration or involuntary vaginal muscle tightening
Causes of Women’s Sexual Dysfunction
Sexual dysfunction can arise from multiple factors. Typically, it involves a combination of physical and emotional sources.
Common physical causes of sexual dysfunction include:
- Hormonal fluctuations associated with perimenopause, menopause, or the postpartum period
- Chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, thyroid dysfunctions, and cardiovascular diseases
- Medications, such as antidepressants, blood pressure medications, and hormone therapies
- Pelvic floor disorders, past surgeries, and pregnancy
- Painful reproductive disorders like endometriosis
Emotional and psychological factors that cause sexual dysfunction may include:
- Stress or anxiety
- Depression
- Poor self-esteem or body image concerns
- History of trauma or abuse
- Relationship issues
- Lack of intimacy
Women’s Incontinence
Urinary incontinence, defined as the involuntary loss of urine, is a prevalent condition affecting women across all age groups. It is important to note that incontinence is not a normal part of the aging process, and there are multiple effective treatment options available to restore bladder control and improve quality of life. With medical advice and support, managing incontinence is possible.
Types of urinary incontinence include:
- Stress Incontinence: Urine leakage when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising
- Urge Incontinence (Overactive Bladder): Sudden, uncontrollable urge to urinate
- Overflow Incontinence: Frequent small leakage due to a constantly full bladder
- Mixed Incontinence: Combination of stress and urge incontinence
- Functional Incontinence: Urine leakage due to physical or cognitive limitations preventing timely restroom access
A variety of factors can cause incontinence, including:
- Pelvic floor weakness: Weakened muscles in the pelvic floor can contribute to stress incontinence. This is more common as women age.
- Hormonal fluctuations: Pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause may lead to weaker pelvic floor muscles.
- Overweight/obesity: The stress of excess weight can increase pressure on the bladder.
- Certain medications: Some medications could cause bladder irritation.
- Underlying medical conditions: Certain medical conditions can result in incontinence, including diabetes, neurological disorders, and recurrent urinary tract infections.
Vaginal Dryness
Vaginal dryness is a condition marked by reduced natural lubrication in the vagina, which may result in discomfort, itching, or pain during intercourse. The primary cause is a decrease in estrogen levels, which often occurs during menopause, perimenopause, breastfeeding, or after childbirth. Estrogen maintains vaginal lubrication and tissue elasticity. When estrogen levels decline, dryness and fragility can occur. Other contributing factors include certain medications, stress, smoking, cancer treatments, removal of the uterus, and medical conditions.

Women’s Sexual Health Treatment Options at Valley Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, AZ
Treating sexual dysfunction starts by having an open and honest conversation. At Valley Plastic Surgery, our providers have created a secure space to discuss your concerns about your sexual health candidly. From there, we’ll help you determine which procedure will best address your unique concerns.
EmpowerRF
EmpowerRF is a non-surgical, non-invasive device that uses radiofrequency (RF) and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to address various women’s health concerns. It is designed to tighten and firm the skin, enhance overall skin texture, and alleviate issues such as urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, and painful intercourse.
EmpowerRF stimulates collagen production and enhances blood circulation, which reduces vaginal dryness by improving lubrication. Vaginal rejuvenation with EmpowerRF enhances overall vaginal health. By stimulating the muscles, too, EmpowerRF strengthens weak pelvic floor muscles throughout treatment.
MorpheusV RF
MorpheusV RF is a non-surgical treatment that uses microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve vaginal health. It targets issues like laxity, dryness, and discomfort during intercourse caused by aging, childbirth, or hormonal changes.
Minimally invasive radiofrequency treatment uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in vaginal walls, then heats the tissue with RF energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This improves tissue strength, elasticity, and overall vaginal health and function. With little to no downtime, MorpheusV treatments help enhance sexual satisfaction, including pain during intercourse; vaginal dryness; urinary continence; and skin laxity.
VTone
VTone is a non-surgical treatment that uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to enhance the strength of pelvic floor muscles, mainly for addressing urinary incontinence and associated conditions. This FDA-approved technology delivers intravaginal EMS to induce muscle contractions, improving the overall strength, tightness, and functionality of the pelvic floor.
VTone potentially enhances sexual function and is used to treat:
- Stress incontinence
- Urge incontinence
- Mixed urinary incontinence
- Vaginal tightness and appearance
VTone utilizes a single-use applicator inserted into the vaginal canal to deliver controlled electrical pulses, which induce involuntary muscle contractions in the pelvic floor. It targets the internal and external vaginal muscles, labia, and perineum to strengthen these areas. With minimal discomfort and no downtime, VTone treatments typically deliver optimal results in 6 to 8 sessions, each lasting 20 to 30 minutes.
FormaV
FormaV is a non-invasive, painless procedure that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production and tissue remodeling in the vaginal area.
It can effectively treat:
- Vaginal dryness
- Vaginal laxity
- Pelvic floor weakness
- Loose or stretched vaginal tissue
- Decreased vaginal sensation
- Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Stress incontinence
- Urinary incontinence
FormaV uses RF energy to heat vaginal tissue, stimulating collagen production to tighten and strengthen vaginal walls. With minimal downtime, FormaV boosts blood circulation to alleviate dryness and incontinence, and improves overall function and sensation by reshaping the vaginal tissues. In short, well-tolerated sessions, FormaV addresses painful intercourse and improves sexual satisfaction, vaginal dryness, and elasticity.
